So how do I buy shares of Sharp? Good morning, Jay, it is now Sunday here. I am bleary eyed and drinking coffee. The sun is shining brightly - the computer room faces east - I am facing east, and the sun is in my eyes and very bright. Birds are singing. I have the door open so that the Grand Exalted Chubby One - my cat - can go out and enjoy the sunshine. I'm looking out at my fruit trees and my grape vines. Cherries are ripe, everything else still green. Later, when the husband wakes up, we'll work on the herb bed and then he'll go play war games. The kids are at grandma's, so we stayed up late listening to Pink Floyd loud on the stereo - vinyl, accept no substitutes - except for the scratching and popping - the records are more than 30 years old, and I wasn't a very good girl back then. How do I play the weakening dollar? Buy Japan, buy Europe? CB's crystal ball says we're in a recession, no doubt about it, but I still don't see a depression on the horizon, far less a coming financial collapse. I'm not an optimist like Pezz, or Maurice, but I wouldn't buy puts, either. The only "sure" bet, I think, is that the dollar will eventually weaken. Gold is looking good these days - I still don't want it, though. I just don't think it's the best potential bang for my personal buck.
